Chef- Twenty Five Lusk

Executive Chef/Partner Matthew Dolan has been passionately developing his culinary talents since he was fourteen years old. He received his formal training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York and credits his work alongside professionals who honored the craft – including many “salty old European chefs” that ran well-organized and disciplined kitchens – as providing him with the fundamentals he needed to excel.

From New Orleans, New York, Nantucket Island, and Helsinki, Finland, he has strived to improve his technique while being exposed to a variety of restaurant environments. Dolan became part of the San Francisco dining scene with a successful run as executive chef at Garibaldi’s on Presidio. At Twenty Five Lusk, Dolan is realizing his dream of building his own kitchen, where he can continue to deliver inspired cuisine that demonstrates his passion and commitment to excellence.
